finally got around to watching the game, penrith were very poor but we were great, the attack and offloads looked awesome and shows what confidence is bringing to us. The defense was again awesome, and for a team that was supposed to struggle we are looking great

I reckon the most important thing or ingredient to us being evenbetter is our 5th tackle options, we still arent getting enough repeat sets from us not rolling the ball in the in goal.
I know we have had 2 great wins but if we can fix that up even more trys would follow.

Not only close to the line our long kicking game is horrible we are not hitting the ground. Lucky we are playing well enough to cover it but if we want to win the comp or get close to it this area needs to improve alot.

Good to hear Snowman :hoping it continues.

I had a Penrith supporter at work bag out the Sharks big time saying we couldn't beat their reserve grade side etc etc. Well didn't I give it to him in a text message after the game. Surprise, surprise he called in sick today.

In fairness though, their reserve grade side probably would have put in a better performance.

Graham needs to stand deeper on 5th tackle, he is not leaving himself enough time to get a good kick away. It was the same against the dragons. Kelly was good - just needs to get them in the corners or away from players.

In fairness though, their reserve grade side probably would have put in a better performance.

Its no coincidence that both penrith and saints made a lot of errors - we put pressure on them.

Such a great game, the thing that was the most exciting was the support play we finally have with Kelly, Gardner and Morris always around to pick up any loose ball or offload.

The forwards have been absolutely outstanding and I hope this continues. We are one of the rare teams that actually is causing genuine intimidation at the moment. Opposition teams seriously don't want to run at them after they experience a few hits.

Morris has been great for the last 2 games. Being up by so many points though, I would have thought we could have given Aiton some more time, especially against his old club.

Graham and Kelly were both great but again I am not sure about the kicking game. The kick chase is brilliant but they don't seem to find the ground. I am sure this will improve but in a closer game this could pose a problem.

I was calling for Matt Wright to be dropped last week to make room for Collis. While still not one of the standouts, he had a good game and I was wrong. He should keep developing there and build his confidence. He is going well.

collis on the wing would be horrible.
dont even mention best on the wing

Yeah I meant Best on the wing and Collis to centres but now I don't think that is the right move. Collis should be ready to come in for any injuries or form dips of the centres and Isaac Gordon should be the same for the wingers in my opinion. Very happy with the depth.

This was the first game in Penrith in a while I didn't go too. My mate who was a Penrith fan had a bday party. We watched the game at his place, me surrounded by Penrith fans......best freakin night ever!
